Any engine needs back pressure to run efficiently. That is what the mufflers do, they create back pressure. So, by removing the muffler(s), you have stopped the back pressure, which in turn causes the engine not to run efficiently.

If the muffler is installed the wrong way can that blow a head gasket?
no it cannot. the only thing that would happen is your engine would not get new oxygen into it's cylinders, because the muffler wasn't breathing well enough, and your engine would just shut off.

Will the efficiency of a car engine increase if the muffler is removed or if it is driven on a very cold day?
The efficiency of a car engine will probably increase if the muffler is removed, but this is not certain because the muffler offers some resonance in clearing the exhaust. The length of the exhaust pipe, and its shape is often a complicated task. But if it is driven on a very cold day the situtation is more clear, the efficiency will improve, often markedly.

You break the law, pollute the environment, and perhaps increase your engine efficiency a bit. Nothing good as it's illegal to remove the converter. Besides the engine will not run correctly with the converter removed. You will gain nothing.

it rises.

How do you fix a very very loud muffler on a tecumsh riding mower engine?
Answer It could be that you need a new muffler. After so long the baffling inside the muffler can burn out. Also make sure that the muffler is not cracked or that exhaust is not leaking before it gets into the muffler. At the gasket between the muffler and the engine. Hope ths helps.
How do you remove muffler on John Deere stx38?
I'm having the same issue. I'm trying to replace my front axle and I need to remove the muffler to get to the axle bolt. Please help. I recently replaced the front axle on my STX38 so I took off the muffler as well. The muffler's heat shield needs to come off first, I think there's just two bolts holding that in place on the front of it. If I remember correctly, there were 4 bolts total securing the muffler. There are two bolts towards the front of the muffler that connect vertically to the body of the mower, these need to be removed. If you look at the very top of the muffler where it connects to the engine you'll see another two bolts that need to be removed. I had a tough time getting these two completely out since mine were a bit rusted but they did eventually come off. Once all these bolts are removed, I had to wiggle the muffler out of the bottom of the mower. For the people doing front axle replacement - once the muffler is removed you should have access to the bolt securing the axle.
How does the thermostat affect fuel efficiency?
Your engine will get the best mileage at full operating temperature. If the thermostat is removed or too low a temperature unit the engine will use more fuel.
